Recommended Reading

First, let me say that I highly recomend any Pagan/Wiccan/Non-Pagan alike to purchase a Witch's or Magickal Almanac, such as the one available from The Witches' Almanac, LTD. They are comparatively inexpensive, and are full of a great deal of useful information on the cycles of the moon, eclipses and other such whatnot, and mythology as well. 

Cunningham, Scott
     1997      Earth Power: Techniques of Natural Magic 
              St. Paul, Minnesota: Llewellyn Publications. 1997: 
              153 pages.

a very good book on the various types of natural magick, starting with the basics and ranging though the 4 tangible elements all the way throught weather, candle and knot magick.

note: any of Scott Cunningham's books are incredible... as yet, this, however, is the only one I personally own, which is why it's the only one on this page. 

Cunningham, Scott
     1996     The Truth About Witchcraft Today.  St. Paul,
              Minnesota, Llewellyn Publications.  185pgs.


Dolfyn
     1989     Crystal Wisdom: Spiritual Properties of Crystals 
              and Gemstones Oakland, CA: Earthspirit, Inc. 1989,
              173 pages.

a very good, but rather basic book on the uses and properties of crystals. 

Hollander, P. Scott
     1995     Tarot for Beginners.  St. Paul, Minnesota:
              Llewellyn Publications.  359 pgs.


Perschel, Lisa
     1995     A Practical Guide to the Runes:Their Uses 
              in Divination and Magick.  St. Paul, Minnesota:
              Llewellyn Publications.  171 pgs.


Ravenwolf, Silver
     1997     "Religion vs. Science" in To Ride a Silver 
              Broomstick: New Generation Witchcraft. St. Paul,
              Minnesota: Llewellyn Publications.  300 pages.

This is an absolutely incredible book for the beginner, and especially for the solitary practicioner. She is an incredible, and highly regarded author.

note: see above comment on Scott Cunningham's works; same applies here.>
